This is a high-impact role that’ll demand strong product management chops, people skills, as well as domain knowledge in Artificial Intelligence – most specifically understanding nuances of generative AI.

So, alongside your passion and solid understanding of user-first feature development, working experience with SaaS products will be a key to success.

What you will do:

• Build empathetic conversational AI products using the power of LLMs
• Visualise high-level user flows to proactively identify dependencies on various teams owning individual domains with whom the conversational layer needs to interact
• Define the messaging and positioning of AI, alongside Product Marketing, and will work closely with commercial teams to enable bringing the features to market
• Effectively break high-level flows into granular specifications for execution and navigate between these two levels effortlessly
• Conduct user research together with your design partner and make informed choices on the immediate and upcoming roadmap
• Collaborate with other similar AI agents being built by others in the industry to achieve a holistic and collaborative multi-agent experience
• Hold yourself and the team accountable to achieving customer outcomes; align around measurable metrics
• Engage in active listening to customers while possessing the critical acumen to make strategic product decisions aligned with the broader vision
• Be the voice of your product area; inspire team members and stakeholders of the impact and opportunity ahead

Qualifications

• Proven experience in product management with solid fundamentals (SaaS or B2B experience is necessary)
• Experience in building conversational AI experience is a must to be successful in the position
